Love Kids, Great Problem Solver & A Strong Belief in Family

Nanny
in Kanata

Hey,
My name's Sierra and I'm 24 years old. I recently moved out here to Ottawa from Montreal in hopes of growing and learning about myself and the world. I live with 2 roommates in a townhouse in Kanata, Ontario. I have a car so transportation is easy and my hours can be very flexible. I love kids, I am fascinated by them. I love listening to the things they say and helping them to learn and grow within this crazy world. I'm a Cegep graduate in General Social Sciences but had a heavy Psychology course load. I did 2 years of university at Concordia in Montreal. Although I was in English Literature it was always my intent to go into Psychology. I know first hand that life doesn't always turn out the way you would like so, long story short, I very much enjoyed the mix of English Literature, Creative Writing and Psychology classes I was able to take at Concordia but I needed a change. Fast forward to present times, I responsibly moved to Ottawa for a clean start in hopes of returning to school here one day soon, probably on a part time or certificate program scale.
I've taken several developmental psychology courses throughout my years along with adolescent psychology and educational psychology courses. I have a strong passion for the understanding of human growth and relationships. I'm very passionate about reading and creative writing as well. I've dabbled in a little bit of everything growing up, from soccer and Karate to dance and art, I feel this has shaped me into the well rounded person I am today.
I'm great at on the fly problem solving, which comes in handy with children. I excel at changing subjects so that cut, scrape or accidental fall easily gets forgotten. I am also a great listener with an infinite amount of patience for children and I understand there has to be a good balance between friends and rule-maker when it comes to kids. I believe that some order and rules are necessary for proper development in children, with no boundaries all can break loose.
As previously stated, my hours are very flexible. I am available for full time or part time work. I feel I have many qualities kids love, and many parents love as well. We are all just children at heart anyway, right?
I look forward to hearing from you,
- Sierra Cwinn
